Horns up 2-0 in the 1st on a Stehly HR
ECU already with 3 in the first with no out.
If Hansen canât get it together the Horns are toast
Fortunately the inning ends with no further damage
Hansen had an inauspicious first inning: BB (HPU has a tight zone), bunt single (he was late covering the bag), oppo bloop single, bases loaded WP scores 1, oppo line drive 2-run singleâŚsac bunt, K, F7 end the inning. 3-2 Pirates.
After 2 not-quick 3-up-3-down innings, Hansen gives up leadoff 2B, K, 2-R HR, 2B to open the 4th.
Bullpen action, Hansen over 80P through 3.1
Good Lord, Melendez just hit a ball that may never come down to left.
7-3 ECU.
And Staley, who made an absolute circus catch in the top of the 6th doing a full flip over the fence in to the bullpen down the RF line, follows suit and demolishes one to left as well. 7-4.

East Carolina University seems misnamed. East North Carolina University would be more descriptive, accurate, and proper. What if South Carolina had the temerity to have their own ECU?

âDo you unintentionally intentionally walk (Melendez)?â
Um, Stehly homered twice already.

Welp.
2nd inning in a rowâŚ1st/2nd 1 out GIDP
Greenville, NC is more eastern than all of South Carolina, so I say the name works.
Look at a map. All of South Carolina is significantly to the west of âeastâ Carolina, and they were all one colony anyway when they were formed.

Shouldâve been East Carolinas University then.
One time I traveled out of east Montana into west North Dakota. I turned right and traveled south into south-west North Dakota, then crossed into north-west South Dakota. Luckily I found a bar.

Did you get a new job writing SAT questions?
So basically Fargo, but more western
I did that in west Virginia and then drove into West Virginia and the back to west Virginia.

That reasoning mostly works for Western Carolina University too.
What was the deal with the pitcherâs glove? I missed the explanation.
